IMMUCELL CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying statements have been prepared by ImmuCell Corporation (the "Company") without audit, and reflect the adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements which are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, the Company believes that although the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements as of December 31, 1997, contained in the Company's Annual Report to shareholders on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Kamar Marketing Group, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. (2) (LOSS) PROFIT PER COMMON SHARE Effective for the 1997 fiscal year, the Company adopted STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS NO. 128 - EARNINGS PER SHARE. The Statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted profit per share of common stock on the consolidated statements of operations. Basic profit per share of common stock would be determined by dividing net profit by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted profit per share would reflect the potential dilution that would occur if existing stock options were exercised. The Statement does not effect the weighted average basis of reporting the net loss per share. (3) INVENTORIES Inventories consist of the following: September 30, December 31, 1998 1997 Raw materials $ 61,524 $ 17,583 Work-in-process 390,944 376,673 Finished goods 61,654 80,270 --------- --------- $ 514,122 $ 474,526 ========= ========= IMMUCELL CORPORATION NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (4) DEBT OBLIGATIONS The Company has long term debt obligations, net of current maturities, as follows: September 30, December 31, 1998 1997 8.62% Bank mortgage, collateralized by first security interest in building, due 1998 to 2003 $474,721 -- 9.5% Bank mortgage, collateralized by first security interest in building -- $202,856 10% Note payable to bank, collateralized by accounts receivable inventory and certain fixed assets -- 146,180 10.27% Note payable to bank, collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory and certain fixed assets -- 123,456 9.62% Note payable to bank, collateralized by accounts receivable, inventory and certain fixed assets -- 97,529 ---------- ---------- 474,721 570,021 Less current portion 15,491 230,274 ---------- ---------- Long term debt $459,230 $339,747 ========== ========== In May 1998, the Company refinanced its bank debt obligations by entering into a $480,000 mortgage loan secured by the Company's building located at 56 Evergreen Drive in Portland, Maine and using these proceeds, together with an additional $29,000 in cash, to repay all of the then outstanding bank debt obligations. The new mortgage has a 15 year amortization schedule with interest payable at the fixed rate of 8.62% per year for the first five years. The Company intends to repay the then outstanding principal at the end of this five year period, but the mortgage does provide the option of resetting at a new fixed interest rate to be determined at that time for one additional five year period. Principal payments under this mortgage obligation, due in monthly installments subsequent to September 30, 1998, aggregate approximately the following: $4,000 - 1998; $17,000 - 1999; $19,000 - - 2000; $21,000 - 2001; $22,000 - 2002; and $392,000 - 2003. (5) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (SFAS) NO. 130 - REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME, which requires the separate reporting of all changes to shareholders' equity, and SFAS NO. 131 - DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS OF AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION, which revises existing guidelines about the level of financial disclosure of a company's operations. Both statements are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company has not determined the impact of the new standards, but does not expect them to have a material impact to existing financial reporting. IMMUCELL CORPORATION PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued) ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 Total revenues equalled $1,117,000 and $3,308,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998, respectively, as compared to $981,000 and $3,129,000 in the comparable periods in 1997. The 1998 grant income was recognized under a federally sponsored research grant in support of one of the Company's passive antibody development programs. The 1997 grant income was recognized under a federally sponsored research grant in support of the development of the Company's water test. The $75,000 in technology licensing income recognized during the first quarter of 1997 was received for an option payment on a license to use the Company's milk processing technology for the production of whey protein isolate and certain other proteins. Product sales increased by $22,000 (2%) to $981,000 and increased by $105,000 (3%) to $3,110,000 during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998, respectively, in comparison to the same periods in the prior year. Sales of First Defense{R} and the Kamar{R} Heatmount{TM} Detector aggregated 93% and 94% of total product sales during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998, respectively. Comparatively, sales of these two products aggregated 96% and 94% of total product sales during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997. Sales of these two products decreased by 2% during the three month period ended September 30, 1998 and increased by 4% during the nine month period ended September 30, 1998, as compared to the same periods of the prior year. In July 1998, the Company entered into a four year extension to the term of its product license from Kamar, Inc. for the Kamar Heatmount Detector from December 31, 1999 through December 31, 2003, subject to the right of either party to give 12 months' notice of early termination. Extending this license was an important element of the Company's strategy to maintain and grow animal health product sales. Gross margin as a percentage of product sales was 47% and 55% during the three month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Gross margin as a percentage of product sales was 53% and 55% during the nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The gross margin decreased by $64,000 (12%) during the three month period ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the respective period in 1997. The gross margin decreased by $18,000 (1%) during the nine month period ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the respective period in 1997. Research and development expenses increased by $59,000 (21%) to $339,000 during the third quarter of 1998 and declined by $54,000 (7%) to $751,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the respective periods in 1997. Research and development expenses exceeded grant income by $203,000 (which amount equals 21% of product sales) during the three month period ended September 30, 1998 and by $259,000 (which amount equals 27% of product sales) during the comparable period in 1997. Research and development expenses exceeded grant income by $552,000 (which amount equals 18% of product sales) during the nine month period ended September 30, 1998 and by $757,000 (which amount equals 25% of product sales) during the comparable period in 1997. Research and development expenses aggregated 30% and 29% of total revenues during the three month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Research and development expenses aggregated 23% and 26% of total revenues during the nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. These expenses were incurred primarily to develop specific antibodies to be used to prevent and/or treat gastrointestinal infections in humans. Additionally, funds have been invested in the development of a product to detect infectious pathogens in water and in the development of a process to manufacture lactoferrin, a nutritional milk protein derived from cheese whey. In 1998, increased funding has been invested in the development of new animal health products that fit the Company's strategy of delivering cost saving, beneficial products to veterinarians and to dairy and beef producers. The research and development expenses described above were the principal cause of the net loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 1998. IMMUCELL CORPORATION ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) In September 1998, the Company reported negative clinical trial results on its product under development, TravelGAM{TM} bovine anti-E. COLI immunoglobulins. The study, funded under a grant from the National Institutes of Health, was designed to address differences in product performance between the product's clinical success in a 1995 study and the inconclusive results obtained in a field trial completed earlier in 1998. Because no treatment effect was detected in this latest clinical trial, the Company has discontinued further development of this product. As a result, the Company's human passive antibody development efforts are now limited to DiffGAM{TM} bovine anti- CLOSTRIDIUM DIFFICILE immunoglobulins, a product intended to treat CLOSTRIDIUM DIFFICILE-associated diarrhea. The Company expects to initiate a small effectiveness study of this product by early 1999 with results expected in late 1999. This study will be partially funded by a grant from the National Institutes of Health. If clinical results are positive, further development of this product would require a development and marketing alliance with a corporate partner. Management believes that the expenses incurred resulting from the investment in the research and development of new products is necessary to foster growth for the Company in the future. During 1998, the Company determined to increase development of new animal health products and to decrease its research and development investment in products targeted towards the human health care markets. Because funding requirements for these animal health programs are less than the requirements for the human health programs, the Company anticipates that it will be able to record a profit in 1999. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $44,000 (29%) during the three month period ended September 30, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997, aggregating 20% of product sales in the 1998 period compared to 16% in 1997. Sales and marketing expenses increased by $14,000 (2%) during the nine month period ended September 30, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997, aggregating 20% of product sales in both the 1998 and 1997 periods. General and administrative expenses increased by $12,000 (10%) during the three month period ended September 30, 1998 and increased by $9,000 (2%) during the nine month period ended September 30, 1998 compared to the same periods in 1997, as the Company continues its efforts to control these expenses while incurring all the necessary costs associated with being a publicly held company. In the third quarter of 1996, the Company made investments in two joint ventures, AgriCell Company, LLC ("AgriCell") and Clearwater Diagnostics Company, LLC ("CDC"). AgriCell has installed a commercial production facility in Middlebury, Vermont to manufacture bovine lactoferrin, a nutritional protein derived from cheese whey. Sales of lactoferrin have been significantly less than expected due principally to the financial crisis in South Korea and Japan, the primary markets for lactoferrin. This negative development resulted in a non-cash charge of approximately $90,000 against the Company's equity interest in AgriCell during the third quarter of 1998. In June 1997, CDC entered into a distribution agreement with an England-based company covering the sales of Crypto-Scan{TM} water diagnostic test in the United Kingdom. In August 1998, the Company obtained a royalty-bearing license from its joint venture partner to the relevant technology previously held by CDC and then dissolved the joint venture. The Company intends to continue to develop and market the Crypto-Scan water diagnostic test while this test method is being evaluated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Total assets decreased by approximately $9,000 to $3,222,000 at September 30, 1998 from $3,231,000 at December 31, 1997. Cash and cash equivalents increased by approximately $309,000 to $1,331,000 at September 30, 1998 from $1,021,000 at December 31, 1997. Net working capital increased by $266,000 to $1,908,000 at September 30, 1998 from $1,642,000 at December 31, 1997. Stockholders' equity increased by $16,000 to $2,345,000 at September 30, 1998 from $2,330,000 at December 31, 1997. IMMUCELL CORPORATION ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) The Company obtained a $710,000 Phase II Small Business Innovation Research grant in September 1997. As of October 1, 1998, approximately $312,000 was available under this grant to fund additional development expenses. Approximately $104,000 of these available funds are budgeted for closing out the TravelGAM{TM} development program, and the balance is intended to support the DiffGAM{TM} development program. The Company believes that it has sufficient capital resources to meet its working capital requirements and to finance its ongoing business operations during the next twelve months. YEAR 2000 ISSUE The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. The Company's computer equipment and software and devices with imbedded technology that are time-sensitive may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or engage in similar normal business activities. In the event that the Company does not effectively address the Year 2000 issue, these functions could be performed manually on a short-term basis. The Company has determined that the risks associated with exposure to third parties that suffer problems with Year 2000 issues are not material because of the Company's ability to source needed supplies and services from multiple sources. In conjunction with a consultant, the Company has reviewed the ability of its computer equipment and software to function properly with respect to dates in the Year 2000 and thereafter. For this purpose, the term "computer equipment and software" includes systems that are commonly thought of as information technology ("IT") systems, including accounting, data processing, and telephone/PBX systems, and other miscellaneous systems, as well as systems that are not commonly thought of as IT systems, such as alarm systems, fax machines, processing equipment, or other miscellaneous systems. Based upon its identification and assessment efforts to date, the Company believes that certain of the computer equipment and software it currently uses (principally its financial accounting system and several personal computers) will require replacement or modification. In addition, in the ordinary course of replacing computer equipment and software, the Company attempts to obtain replacements that are Year 2000 compliant. The Company estimates that the total costs of efforts required to address the Year 2000 issue will not exceed $20,000. These costs, a portion of which may be capitalized, are expected to be incurred while the project is completed in the fourth quarter of 1998.
